Baltimore Orioles vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction
I’m on the Orioles in this one. Baltimore let it slip on Monday as Boston found a way to win once again, but I think this could be a good spot for the O’s. Ranger Suarez has been a decent option, but the Orioles still have done damage against lefties and I think they can hit Suarez while Bradish has been a decent option and I still feel like this price is too good to pass on with the Orioles. Give me Baltimore.
